The Vendor Display and Demo Area

The Vendor Display and Demo Area

We couldn't put on this event each year without the help and support from our many vendors of the surf shop! All of these guys have stepped up big time in donating the give-away items, award prizes, raffle gifts, auction items, and some have donated cash directly to the fundraising efforts of the skatepark! Several of these guys are even taking time on Saturday to come down to the event. They will be here to give away more free items to the spectators, offer demos to those that want to try out surfing and stand-up paddling, and to display their products. Here is a list of the guys that will be here. Make sure you stop by the vendor area, which will be in the Cape Kiwanda parking lot over looking the contest, and pick up some free stuff!

Volcom Clothing, Roxy, Spy Sunglasses, Creatures of Leisure, Nike, O'neill Wetsuits, Surftech Surf and SUP, Dakine, Nixon, Rainbow Sandals, and Rib Guard.

We are also going to have three special tents set up: Todd Fisher who did the art for our poster will be selling his work, Surfrider will be here to spread the word about the importance of saving our coastal environments, and Columbia Beverage will be selling bottled water, snacks, and working with our local groms selling our Pacific City Skatepark apparel! With all proceeds going directly to the park!

Come by, grab a snack, get some free stuff, buy a t-shirt to support the park, try out an SUP, all while watching the contest!

“How would you describe the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic” is a question I get asked during interviews ahead of each year’s contest. The simple answer is to say that it’s a local surf contest put on by a dedicated group of volunteers. The truth is that the contest is something more than that. It has its own soul. It has a life that we and the organizers before us can’t take credit for. I would like to think we had something to do with it, but the reality is the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic has become something far beyond anything anyone ever imagined.

It's that time of year again, and we're opening registration for our 2025 Youth Surf Camps! Youth surf camps are open to kids ages 10 - 16 with some flexibility, and all levels are welcome!

Both cheers of support and loud laughter were heard throughout Pacific City this past weekend as surfers and spectators gathered on the beach to root on the participants in the annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic. This year marks the 25th running of the beloved community event.
Started in 1998 by Bob and Michelle Ledbetter, the contest has grown to become a staple of the NW surf community. It not only attracts surfers throughout Oregon, but this year saw people from Canada, California, Washington and even Hawaii make the pilgrimage.
